Bell caught two of three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's loss at Indianapolis.

Bell worked as the Jaguars' secondary tight end and played 27 offensive snaps behind starter James O'Shaughnessy, but that role is now likely to change. Ben Koyack -- who the Jaguars signed Monday -- is currently listed as the No. 2 tight end on the depth chart, which should further limit Bell's offensive workload.

Grinnage was cut by the Jaguars on Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Grinnage was let go by Jacksonville to make room for Ben Koyack on the 53-man roster. The depth tight end played well in limited rotational snaps, but was ultimately unable to stick with the Jaguars. He'll look to earn a depth role elsewhere in the league.

Graham (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Graham's inclusion isn't a surprise, as his reps typically are under some sort of cap on the first practice report of each week. Expect the 31-year-old to get on the field over the next two days with an eye on Thursday's game in Seattle, whose defense has done an admirable job of containing tight ends this season.

Gesicki brought in his only target during Sunday's 31-12 loss to the Packers.

Gesicki saw less offensive snaps (20) than fellow tight ends A.J. Derby and Nick O'Leary, and received only one target for the second straight week. It's hard to imagine the rookie second-round pick putting up big numbers while splitting snaps in Miami's mediocre passing offense, but Gesicki remains a key part of the Dolphins' plans for the future.

Derby caught one of two targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 31-12 loss to the Packers.

Derby returned to the field for the first time since Week 3, and led Miami's tight end group in both offensive snaps (30) and targets. It appears that Derby is the No. 1 tight end in the Dolphins' lackluster offense, but he's nonetheless unlikely to achieve fantasy relevance while sharing time with Nick O'Leary and Mike Gesicki.

Hollister was on the field for 22 of the Patriots' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Titans.

In the process, Hollister hauled in one of his two targets for 17 yards. The Patriots are on bye Week 11, so both Rob Gronkowski (back/ankle) and Dwayne Allen (knee) have some added time to manage their current injuries. If, however, their issues linger, Hollister's profile in the New England offense could potentially expand Week 12.

Hill gained 24 yards on four carries in Sunday's win against the Bengals.

Hill attempted one pass as well -- on a pop-pass trick play from the one-yard line -- but the sure touchdown was dropped by tight end Ben Watson. Still, Hill played 23 of the Saints' 75 offensive snaps, lining up frequently as a receiver, but it was backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater who took the snaps under center in fourth-quarter mop-up duty. Hill continues to be a fun player the Saints love using in a variety of ways, but he's not much of a fantasy option outside of two-quarterback leagues.

Lewis caught one pass for 30 yards in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins.

Lewis notched his first big play of the season Week 10, but he still finished third among Packers tight ends with 10 offensive snaps. He's averaging 12 such snaps per game this season and continues to be relied upon mainly for his blocking prowess.

Higbee caught all three of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 36-31 win over Seattle. He also played 50 of 65 offensive snaps.

The second-year starter has been more involved in the passing attack of late with six receptions for 71 yards and a score over the past three weeks. Obviously, those aren't standout fantasy marks, and Higbee's upside likely will remain capped. Still, wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) has been ruled out for the year, so there's potential for the tight end to see his role in the offense grow down the stretch. Higbee and the Rams also draw a soft matchup Week 11. The Chiefs have surrendered bottom-10 ranks in both receptions (52) and receiving yards (700) to tight ends this season.

Graham caught one pass for 14 yards in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins.

Graham's production has seemingly fluctuated on a week-to-week basis all season, and that remained the case Week 10, as he followed up a 55-yard-and-a-touchdown showing Week 9 with his fewest receiving yards since Week 1. Some of that likely had to do with a lack of opportunity, as Graham was on the field for just 68 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps -- his lowest number of the season -- likely a response to the practice session he sat out Wednesday because of his sore knee. Graham will get a shot at his previous team Week 11, but with the Packers and Seahawks playing Thursday, Graham's balky knee will have less time than usual to recover. The matchup is hardly favorable, either, as the Seahawks have allowed just 31.6 receiving yards per game to tight ends in 2018.
